Parking sensors on 2017 3500 - 09/14/22 03:12 AM
I have searched the internet high and low for the answer on this so if there is a thread here on it I haven't been able to find it.
I recently reinstalled the front parking sensors on my 2017 Ram 3500 Longhorn. When I bought the truck it had an aftermarket bumper and the "service front parksense" popping up drove me nuts.
After installing the sensors tested fine in the driveway. On the first drive after once I go above about 5mph the sensors shut off and the "service front parksense" comes on with a ding. If I go below 5mph they come back on etc etc.
The harness is an OEM harness from the dealer that I had to modify slightly to extend the loom to fit the aftermarket bumper. I extended each of the plugs by a bit to get the reach needed.
The sensors are cheap knockoffs from Amazon since the dealer wanted $230 a piece for the sensors (the harness was only $160).
Trying to determine what is going on here. Is it a sensor issue? Do I need to do a battery reset? Something else? The sensors work as they should when parking and I get the proper indications just the weird over 5mph they turn off and it dings at me...Thanks in advance for everyone's help!
